This year’s study day looks at how our museums might be able to use their outdoor spaces or think more creatively about the workshops they might be able to develop to expand their education offer. This is a fun, practical day so do wear sturdy footwear and appropriate clothing for the weather.
10:00 Tea, Coffee and welcome to the museum.
10.30 Take part in a Mesolithic workshop: This is a chance to experience one of the museum’s workshops led by an experienced workshop leader. There will be plenty of opportunities to immerse yourself in the experience and ask questions.
12:00 Lunch: The museum has a tea room which can provide a selection of sandwiches and light lunches. However there is also space for you to eat a packed lunch.
